Best wishes, Tricia. I don't know how you fit it all in with all your visits to parents in Canada. It must be something to do with the spectacular scene from your window (in Canada) or can you get work done while you are there?

Thanks, Geraldine. Sadly both the parents are gone now but we still have use of the cottage. I DO work there - though I find the bird life a little too wonderfully distracting. It's actually great to have a base in a different time zone now that I can work with people beyond the UK.
